A space that feels entirely your own
The Executive Cottage is ideal when you want more than a table at a restaurant, but don’t need a large function room.
Enjoy a private meal with your closest people, move between the dining room, lounge and deck, and let the La Maison team take care of the food, drinks and service.
Choose your event style...
An intimate seated dinner
Gather up to 12 guests around the table for a private lunch or dinner, with dedicated waiter service and seasonal food prepared by the La Maison kitchen.
It’s a beautiful option for intimate weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays and family occasions.
A relaxed cocktail gathering
Host up to 30 standing guests across the cottage, lounge and private deck. Add canapés and drinks for a celebration that feels relaxed while remaining completely private.
Package minimum numbers or minimum charges may apply.
An executive meeting
Step away from the office for a private meeting, planning session or client lunch. The lounge and dining spaces allow you to combine conversation, planning and a shared meal in one location.
